How well does it work?

Initial observations

• Users must decide many things before seeing results
• Which servers to search? Not enough info to decide.
• Requires persistence

Hypothesis

People will use simpler, less-effective systems instead

Study

• Make same metadata available through an ordinary web site
• Monitor logs
  • Modify Z39.50 server code to get better logs
    • Search
    • Present brief records (title)
    • Present full records
  • Specialized web log analysis to not count
    • Robot accesses
    • Insiders
    • Duplicates or redirects
    • Non-metadata documents
• Web stats
• Z39.50 stats
